I would like to tell you of something that happened to me several years ago when back in England. It was just before Christmas, about 22nd Dec, that I went to Stonehenge, somewhere I had always wished to go.
It was a fine day, a bit cold but clear. I started walking round the Henge really happy to be there at last, and was about halfway round when I was overwhelmed by a feeling of terrible sadness and loss....so bad that I started to cry, ( glad no one was near me) also this awful coldness enveloped me. I just stood there, sobbing and feeling somehow isolated.
I managed to walk on but the pleasure of being there had gone...I have never felt sorrow like that...such desolation.... and I felt like I had walked into a freezer... just could not get warm.
These feelings upset me so much that instead of going back into Salisbury to shop, I caught the next train back to Warminster and went to bed...the feeling stayed with me for a few days, just gradually easing off...but I never want to feel that desolation and unbearable sorrow again.
